You can find some of the more enlightened tax regimes there.www.my-piano.blogspot -
Been a while since they several govt's installed flat tax. Since then about nothing happened, or you'd have to consider commie witch-hunts as reforms.DISCLAIMER: the author of the above written texts does not warrant or assume any legal liability or responsibility for any offence and insult; disrespect, arrogance and related forms of demeaning behaviour; discrimination based on race, gender, age, income class, body mass, living area, political voting-record, football fan-ship and musical preference; insensitivity towards material, emotional or spiritual distress; and attempted emotional or financial black-mailing, skirt-chasing or death-threats perceived by the reader of the said written texts.Comment

So let me get this straight. You contend that unless they have a flat tax then eastern European states are not less progressive then old European states? So even if their tax policies are less progessive then but they still have a graduated tax policy it is still not good enough?Originally posted by Colonâ„¢

I contend that as long as marginal tax rates are less then or they are flatter then old Europe then they are better and you have no case.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

Are not you exaggerating a bit?Originally posted by Oerdin
The UK has repeatedly offered to give up the rebate if France will agree to give up that money wasting CAP however France has always refused. France is the problem here. With something like 40% of the EU's budget going into wasteful agricultural subsidies, most of which ends up in the pockets of French farmers, why the hell should the UK contribute more? They've already said, repeatedly, that they'll give up the rebate as soon as France gives up the CAP thus freeing up some 40% of the EU budget (and allowing for hundreds of millions in new revenue from the UK) there by allowing for a huge modernization campaign to occur in Eastern Europe.
France remains the road block though. It is France which refuses to give up it's monstrous ag subsidies there by robbing the majority of the EU budget and preventing the needed investment from flowing east where it is most needed. Until France stops being the big problem then nothing will change.
The 5 higher beneficiaries were in 2005 :
France 24%
Germany 16%
Spain 14%
Italy 12%
UK 11%
1. You can observe that 76% of the "monstruous" CAP are received by other members than France.
2. Surprisingly, the hierarchy of the beneficiaries reflect the relative importance of their agriculture.
3. Considering the above and the nature of the EU, the use of "robbing" is not proper; it is connected to your passion on the subject more than to the problem in discussion.Statistical anomaly.

That is the ultimate article of your economic faith. The globalization has demonstrated that this article must be made more precise. For instance, it appears that, in the US, free trade increases business opportunities ... for China. It can also be added that the meaning of free trade for a nation owning the $, is not totally clear; it is even funny to hear the US claiming that the Chinese use of their currency is not fair. In fact one could say that Chinese workers are exploited by US consumers, with the temporary authorization of the Chinese government.Originally posted by Oerdin
The UK is for enlargement because 2) Free trade does increase business opportunities.
For another instance, I have not heard that the US attitude regarding the cotton was in conformity with your credo.
Therefore, I suggest that you have a look to the quote brought by Dauphin which can help you to better understand the European situation.Last edited by DAVOUT; March 21, 2007, 03:07.Statistical anomaly.
